Product details

The proposition of an artistic collaboration around the Remy Martin XO decanter resonated with Anish Kapoor on a deep, almost esoteric level. He remembered the prized bottles that his father brought back from his ocean adventures with the Indian Navy: “The bottle had a strange reality for me. It was seen by him, and therefore by us, as being sophisticated and delicate, something to be dealt with in a respectful way.”Kapoor, a boundary breaking sculptor and conceptual artist, fascinated by the idea that the external world mirrors our inner reality, that our perceptions shape our reality, has transformed his personal memories of Remy Martin into an experience: a metaphysical journey into color, form and sensation.

Tasting notes

Exceptionally smooth with a powerful yet understated aroma. An explosion of fragrances delights the olfactory senses. Opulent by its taste, XO reveal its aromas progressively throughout the tasting. Starting with plum, mature fig and candied orange to spicy notes with a hint of cinnamon and freshly crushed hazelnuts, finishing on gourmet notes of roasted cocoa beans, honey and ginger. Unique by its opulence, Remy Martin XO establishes itself as smooth, full-bodied and long lasting.

X ANISH KAPOOR

After immersing himself in the color of Rémy Martin XO Cognac Fine Champagne, its rich depths and dazzling iridescence, Anish Kapoor meditated on the question of reflections. He began to imagine an art work in the image of his signature concave mirrors, which gave rise to a new limited edition decanter design. Working closely with the designers, he revisited the original 70cl glass mold to form a minimalist curve with a concave centre in glowing amber tones. The front surface is smooth and transparent and fuses with the classic scooped design on the back, amplifying its luminous effect, enhancing the solar shape and reflecting infinite possibilities. For Anish Kapoor, the greatest challenge for artists today is to create without constraints: “Artists are speculators on a conversation between what really takes place in the world and the symbolic language of an interior landscape. Collaborations with luxury goods can be complicated because we don’t want our expression to be limited to a brand vision. Rémy Martin, however, gave me the freedom to explore my own.”
